In the related technologies, due to the restricted visibility on a rainy day, it is difficult to recognize a target, and thus a traffic accident may easily occur. In view of the above, the present disclosure is to provide a vehicle, a driving assistance system and a driving assistance method thereof.

The present disclosure provides in some embodiments a driving assistance system for a vehicle. The vehicle may be an automobile. A type of the automobile will not be particularly defined herein, e.g., it may be a car, a Sport Utility Vehicle or Suburban Utility Vehicle (SUV) or a truck. In addition, the use of the automobile will not be particularly defined herein either, e.g., it may be a family automobile, a bus or an intercity bus. The present disclosure will be described hereinafter in detail in conjunction with the drawings and the embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, a driving assistance system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an alarm module 12, an acquisition module 14 and a control module 15.

Reference is made to FIGS. 2 to 7. The alarm module 12 is arranged on a windshield wiper 11 of the vehicle. The alarm module 12 may be of a bar-like shape and extend in a same direction as the windshield wiper 11. The alarm module 12 is configured to generate prompt information visible to a driver. The alarm module 12 may be capable of presenting prompt information by utilizing various regions of the alarm module 12. The alarm module 12 may be configured to present the prompt information when the vehicle is in a driven state.

The acquisition module 14 is configured to acquire a first image including a target 13 outside the vehicle viewed at a first position and a second image including the alarm module viewed at the first position. The first position may be a position where eyes of a driver are located.

The control module 15 is coupled to the acquisition module 14 and the alarm module 12. The control module 15 is configured to determine an overlapping region between a second region of the second image and a first region of the first image, and control the alarm module 12 to present the prompt information about the overlapping region. The second region is a region occupied by the alarm module 12 and the first region is a region occupied by the target 13.

The acquisition module 14 is configured to acquire the first image including the target viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located, which may be implemented in various ways. For example, a vehicle-mounted camera having a shooting angle consistent with a viewing angle of the driver may be arranged in front of the vehicle, to acquire the first image including the target 13. For another example, a vehicle-mounted camera having a shooting angle inconsistent with the viewing angle of the driver may be arranged at a head or a tail of the vehicle, to acquire a third image including the target 13 and convert the third image including the target 13 into the first image including the target 13 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located. The way to acquiring the first image will not be limited herein.

The acquisition module 14 is further configured to acquire the second image including the alarm module 12 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located, which may be implemented in various ways. For example, the driver may wear a pair of spectacles equipped with a camera, to directly acquire the second image via the camera. For another example, a vehicle-mounted camera maybe arranged inside the vehicle to determine position information about the eyes of the driver, and then acquire the second image including the alarm module 12 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located in accordance with the position information about the eyes of the driver, position information about the alarm module 12 and movement information about the alarm module 12. The way to acquiring the second image will not be limited herein.

Upon acquisition of the first image including the target 13 and the second image including the alarm module 12 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located via the acquisition module 14, the control module 15 may match the first image with the second image, to acquire the overlapping region between a region of the second image where the alarm module 12 is located and a region of the first image where the target 13 is located. This overlapping region is a region where the target 13 is blocked by the alarm module 12 as viewed by the driver. The control module 15 may control the alarm module 12 to present the prompt information about the overlapping region, so as to prompt the driver of a position of the target 13. The target 13 in the first image may be, but not limited to, one or more of: a lane marking, or, a person or another vehicle around the head of the vehicle, which will not be limited herein. The presentation of the prompt information may be understood not only as displaying specific content of the target 13 (e.g., displaying an image of the target 13) by the alarm module 12, but also as a lightening operation performed by the alarm module 12, so as to prompt the driver of the position of the target 13. For example, the alarm module 12 may display the image of the target 13 at the third region, or lighten the third region. The third region is a region of the alarm module, where the region is corresponding to the overlapping region.

In some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, the control module 15 may be an element having a processing function, such as, a central processing unit (CPU) or a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

According to the driving assistance system in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first image including the target and the second image including the alarm module viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located are acquired, the overlapping region between the region of the first image occupied by the target and the region of the second image occupied by the alarm module is determined, and then the prompt information about the overlapping region is presented by the alarm module. In this way, the position of the target is obtained by the driver through the presentation of the alarm module. As a result, the occurrence of a traffic accident, which is caused due to a difficulty in recognizing a target created by restricted visibility and blocked driver's sight line by the windshield wiper on a rainy day, is prevented, thereby improving driving security.

In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the acquisition module 14 includes a first collection unit, a second collection unit, and a processing unit coupled to the first collection unit and the second collection unit. The first collection unit is configured to collect the third image including the target 13 viewed at a second position. The second position is a position where the first collection unit is located. The second collection unit is configured to the acquire position information about the eyes of the driver. The processing unit is configured to acquire the first image including the target, in accordance with the third image including the target 13 viewed at the second position and the position information about the eyes of the driver, and acquire the second image including the alarm module, in accordance with the position information about the eyes of the driver and position information about the alarm module 12.

The first collection unit may collect the third image including the target 13 viewed at the second position. The first collection unit may include one or more collection assemblies. The collection assembly may be a vehicle-mounted camera. In a case that the target 13 is a person or another vehicle around the head of the vehicle, the collection assembly may be arranged at the head of the vehicle, to collect the third image including the person or the another vehicle around the head of the vehicle, so as to prompt the driver to pay attention to the person or the another vehicle. When the target 13 is a lane marking, the collection assembly may be arranged at the head of the vehicle, to collect the third image including the lane marking, so as to prompt the driver of a position of the lane marking when the driver is driving normally. In addition, the collection assemblies may also be arranged at both the head and the tail of the vehicle. At this time, the first image including the lane marking viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located may be acquired in a more accurate and complete manner in accordance with the third image including the lane marking collected by the collection assembly at the head of the vehicle and the third image including the lane marking collected by the collection assembly at the tail of the vehicle, so as to prompt the driver of the position of the lane marking in a better manner.

The second collection unit may collect the position information about the eyes of the driver. The second collection unit may be a vehicle-mounted camera. In order to facilitate collection, the second collection unit may be arranged on a sunvisor inside the vehicle.

Usually, the processing unit is an element having a processing function, such as, a CPU or FPGA. It should be appreciated that, the processing unit may be integrated into the acquisition module 14 or the control module 15, which will not be limited herein.

Upon collection of the third image including the target 13 via the first collection unit and collection of the position information about the eyes of the driver via the second collection unit, the processing unit may calculate information about the first image including the target viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located in accordance with information such as the third image including the target 13, a position and a collection angle of the first collection unit, and the position information about the eyes of the driver, and then acquire the first image including the target. In addition, the processing unit may acquire the second image including the alarm module viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located in accordance with the position information about the eyes of the driver, the position information about the alarm module 12 and the movement information about the alarm module 12.

It should be appreciated that, the first collection unit and the second collection unit each may be an image collection component specifically arranged on the vehicle, or an image collection component in an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), which will not be limited herein.

In actual application, in order to prompt the driver of the position of the target 13 (e.g., the lane marking, or, the person or another vehicle outside the vehicle), the alarm module 12 needs to present the position of the target 13 in real time. That is, the first image including the target 13 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located, and the second images of the same moment which includes the alarm module 12 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located, need to be obtained continuously, the first image and the second image are processed in real time to determine the overlapping region, and then the overlapping region is presented in real time. FIGS. 2 to 5 show the presentation of the lane marking at the overlapping region (indicated by a black region) by the alarm module 12 at different time points. FIG. 5 shows an overlay effect of the overlapping regions within a certain time period, and this time period may be a duration within which the windshield wiper 11 moves from left to right or from right to left. Taking visual persistence into consideration, in actual application, the acquisition module 14 may acquire 20 to 24 first images including the target 13 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located, and 20 to 24 second images including the alarm module 12 viewed at the position where the eyes of the driver are located, at uniform time intervals within one second.

As shown in FIG. 7, the alarm module 12 may be arranged on, and move along with, the windshield wiper 11. The windshield wiper 11 may be activated on a rainy day automatically, or manually by the driver, which will not be limited herein. The driving assistance system according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be enabled after the activation of the windshield wiper automatically, or manually by the driver, which will not be limited herein.

In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the alarm module 12 may be closely attached to a side wall of the windshield wiper 11, so as to reduce a blocking effect of the windshield wiper 11 on the sight line of the driver. In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, a length of the alarm module 12 may be not greater than a length of the windshield wiper 11. In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the length of the alarm module 12 may be equal to the length of the windshield wiper 11. In this way, the blocking effect of the windshield wiper 11 on the sight line of the driver is reduced in a better manner, and display of the target 13 by the alarm module 12 is facilitated.

The alarm module 12 may be of various structures. For example, the alarm module 12 may be an LED light bar or a flexible display, which will not be limited herein. In a case that the alarm module 12 is an LED light bar, the control module 15 may control the alarm module 12 to present the prompt information about the overlapping region, i.e., the control module 15 may lighten the LED light bar at the third region, where the third region is a region of the alarm module 12 corresponding to the overlapping region. It should be appreciated that, since the alarm module 12 is arranged outside the vehicle and usually operates on a rainy day, the alarm module 12 may be water-proof.

The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a vehicle, including the driving assistance system according to any of the above embodiments, to prompt the driver of the target.

The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a driving assistance method, applied to the driving assistance system according to any of the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the driving assistance method may include steps 901 to 903.
